It was a good time for cowardice. That point makes it extremely unlikely Rovers will be relegated. Relegation means £5 million doesn’t arrive from the Premier League and much less television revenue. With the awful attendance numbers, all the more expensive players get sold. That point was probably worth almost £10 million.
I hope Pears is practicing his Pickford time-wasting flop. I’m expecting 5 backs, everyone on their back foot, and hoping for the most boring 90 minutes ever seen in football.
Personally, I thought they were fun to watch until the wheels fell off in December. There wasn’t enough squad depth to manage the injuries. Then Travis left for Ipswich and Adam Wharton was sold. The squad as assembled in the fall was competitive but lacked depth. With one of the lowest payrolls in the league, it was never going to be a very athletic team.
That was a very important point. It adds Sheffield Wednesday to the mix and makes it so Plymouth has to win. The odds are very against both Birmingham City & Plymouth Argyle winning plus Sheffield Wednesday getting at least a draw. Norwich and Hull are both promotion playoff clubs and the Stadium of Light will have 41,000. Park the bus in Leicester and try for the point. 90 minutes of time wasting.
Boehly “only” spent £900 million on transfer fees. In baseball, he spent $700 million, $425 million, and $365 million for the three most expensive LA Dodgers players. Those were the equivalent of free transfers since those were contracts directly with the players but it’s the kind of spending he does.
